Lavatory doors using touchless actuation and de-actuation mechanism
A system comprises a door including a latch assembly configured to latch the door to a doorframe in a closed position of the door. An latch actuator is operatively connected to the latch assembly to drive the latch assembly to latch and unlatch the door. A exterior touchless sensor operatively connected to the actuator to cause the actuator to unlatch the latch assembly upon receipt of touchless input from a user.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SHELTERING IN PLACE WITH ADVANCED RESPONDER NOTIFICATION AND READY ACCESS
A system and method for a universal locking system that mounts to any type of door, clamping and reinforcing the door from both sides. The system and method is compliant with the intent of CMS, NFPA, TJC codes & standards, allowing the occupant to participate in his own decision to run, hide or fight. Wall-mounting the locking device and allowing the occupant to remove the device and install it at the door complies with the ANSI Knowing Act and requires the occupant to activate the locking device. Removal of the device from the wall mounting, immediately alerts first responders of potential sheltering-in-place while providing a remote audio/visual alarm, while identifying location of the device. Alert locations include nurse stations, staff locations, building securing desk/offices and fire command. A key override is provided so that responders/authorities can gain entry without requiring any special knowledge of the locking configuration.
Force transmission device
A force transmission device configured to laterally displace a plane, such as a sliding door or glass, by joining with the plane and transmitting a lateral force to the plane. Once securely joined with the plane, the device forms a securely fastened, textured surface area enabling an object, such as a foot or hand, to laterally displace both the device and the attached plane. The device includes a base portion having a mount surface and an outer surface. The mount surface adheres to the plane through an adhesive portion. A cover portion may detachably cover the adhesive portion and be removed by a tab. A wedge portion having an apex end and a base end extends from the base portion to provide a surface for the object to apply a force on the device. The force is transmitted to the plane for lateral or pivotal displacement.
System and method for sheltering in place with advanced responder notification and ready access
A system and method for a universal locking system that mounts to any type of door, clamping and reinforcing the door from both sides. The system and method is compliant with the intent of CMS, NFPA, TJC codes & standards, allowing the occupant to participate in his own decision to run, hide or fight. Wall-mounting the locking device and allowing the occupant to remove the device and install it at the door complies with the ANSI Knowing Act and requires the occupant to activate the locking device. Removal of the device from the wall mounting, immediately alerts first responders of potential sheltering-in-place while providing a remote audio/visual alarm, while identifying location of the device. Alert locations include nurse stations, staff locations, building securing desk/offices and fire command. A key override is provided so that responders/authorities can gain entry without requiring any special knowledge of the locking configuration.
Foot operated lavatory door actuation and de-actuation
A door system comprises a door, the door including a latch assembly configured to latch the door to a door frame to maintain the door in a closed position and to unlatch to allow the door to open to an opened position. A foot pedal is operatively connected to unlatch the latch assembly upon actuation by a user's foot. In certain embodiments, a handle can be operatively connected to unlatch the latch assembly upon actuation a user. The door system further includes the door frame and set of hinges operatively connecting the door to the door frame.
Sliding door foot bolt
A lock kit for a fenestration assembly includes a panel stop. The fenestration assembly includes a first panel and a second panel, at least one of the first and second panels being slideable relative the other of the first and second panels. The panel stop is configured to pivotably mount within a recess of a frame member of the first panel and pivot between a first stop position configured to maintain the first and second panels in a fully closed position, a second stop position configured to limit sliding of the first and second panels beyond a preset partially-open position, and a third position substantially within the recess, the third position being configured to not restrict a range of motion of the first and second panels.
Vehicle Mounted Animal Enclosure with Unique Door Control Mechanisms
A portable enclosure for capturing and retaining an animal features a pen carried alongside an ATV, a front opening in the pen, and at least one door movable between open and closed positions at the front opening. A lock member is carried above the front opening, and is displaceable into and out of a locking position engaging the door. A rotatable actuation member resides overhead of the lock member and is operable by a foot pedal to draw the at least one lock member upwardly out of the locking position to unlock the door. The same lock member acts in both the open and closed positions of the door by way of cooperation with strike plates on the door panel and an extension member projecting therefrom. The strike plates are shaped to return the lock member to a ready state for automatic locking during opening and closing of the door.

DOOR HARDWARE AND FLOOR STRIKE INSTALLATION TOOLS FOR A PORTABLE DOOR SHELTER LOCK
A first installation tool (FIT) for defining the precise location of door hardware on a door that receives a portable locking device (PLD) therein and a second installation tool (SIT) for forming a floor strike at a precise floor location that the PLD interacts with when installed in the door hardware. The FIT includes a pair of adjustable vertically-oriented panels with apertures therein, and a vertically-adjustable base, for releasably securing to the bottom of the door to define and guide a drill to form door apertures for securing the door hardware thereto. The SIT includes a drill, mounted vertically on a base that can be precisely moved horizontally. The SIT includes a coupling assembly that releasably engages with the door apertures. When activated, the drill drills down vertically to remove floor material and is incrementally moved horizontally to forms a precise well in the floor to form the floor strike.
